This patch updates the normal descriptor structure
to work fine on new GMAC Synopsys chips.
Normal descriptors were designed on the old MAC10/100
databook 1.91 where some bits were reserved: for example
the tx checksum insertion and rx checksum offload.
The patch maintains the back-compatibility with old
MAC devices (tested on STx7109 MAC10/100) and adds new
fields that actually new GMAC devices can use.
For example, STx7109 (MAC10/100) will pass from the platform
tx_coe = 0, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 0.
A platform like Loongson1B (GMAC) will pass:
tx_coe = 1, enh_desc = 0, has_gmac = 1.
Thanks to Kelvin, he enhanced the normal descriptors for
GMAC (on MIPS Loongson1B platform).

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.
STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.
In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.
First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

This patch allows to set the mtu bigger than 1500
in case of normal descriptors.
This is helping some SPEAr customers.

Move the STMicroelectronics driver into driver/net/ethernet/stmicro/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
